My Story…

Hey everyone, I have been volunteering with ooch since 2016, I never knew the impact this camp would have for the campers and me. Going in to this experience I thought what all people did which is that I was going to do my best to create the best experience for these kids, what I didn't realize was how much and what ooch is able to provide and the extent they go to make dreams a reality. having first hand experience seeing the drastic change kids go through in the time that we see them for the summer. Ooch runs off a simple philosophy "giving kids a chance to be kids", it simple realy complex at the same time and Ooch has cracked the code to it. Seeing all of this first hand has inspired me to do even more. Help me give back to this life changing organization.

Description

Kids affected by childhood cancer still need the chance to just be kids!

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 

For affected families, it can feel like everything is about cancer. Simple, childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.

For over 35 years, Camp Ooch has offered a different path–the healing powers of fun, friendship and self-confidence, and the joy of kids getting to just be kids! 

Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, Ooch provides programming at an overnight camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, in specialized paediatric centres and in communities across Ontario. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, corporate donors and individuals, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,900 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp. You can help change that.



Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.

We still run for Ooch!
